Oops! This is going to be another (unacceptably) late post of a limited edition collection. I bought all 3 shades in the Circus Circus polish selection from Essence when it launched 2 months ago and only recently got around to wearing them. Yes, I'm beating myself up about it right now!
The Circus Circus collection had me written all over it with its pre-selected nail colour and glitter combinations. From top to bottom the shades are:
Applause, Applause
Cotton Candy
My Sparkling Acrobat
By way of apology for my tardiness - and sporadic posting of late - I've done nail swatches of all of the shades in this post. Let's just get right into it, shall we?
Applause, Applause
(red creme polish/red micro-glitter and square glitter)
This was probably my least favourite from the collection - only because I expected the most from it!? I was looking forward to the full Dorothy/Wizard of Oz ruby slippers effect on my fingers and it didn't quite deliver in my opinion.
Cotton Candy
(blue-toned pink creme polish/matching micro-glitter)
The most traditionally pretty combination of the trio. I love the pink cream shade worn alone almost as much as when it's adorned with the glitter coating. Pretty, pretty!
My Sparkling Acrobat
(black creme polish/gold micro-glitter and square glitter)
The rockstar of this little circus in my opinion! The black and gold contrast is effective and a classic combination.
The Circus Circus collection can still be found in Priceline stores - if you hurry!!!
Until next time
These are sooo stunning! I hope I can find them :/ that's the worst thing about Essence haha
ReplyDeleteDon't make me feel any worse Sarah! I hope you find them - I have still seen them around so good luck! *smacking myself again*
DeleteI love the look of My Sparkling Acrobat, though as always with me, I doubt I would ever wear it.

Stretch your beauty boundaries! We can get away with a lot these days :)
DeleteOooh, Cotton Candy is gorgeous - love the glitter combination and how sparkly it looks! My Sparkling Acrobat looks like something I could probably layer with existing polishes I have, but it's eye-catching and great for a night out nonetheless :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Cotton Candy is so pretty! I plan to wear it as a pedicure actually.
DeleteBlack and gold! Classic combo! I definitely think that one is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteYes it was a toss-up between Cotton Candy and Sparkling Acrobat for me. The black and gold combo will look lovely on after dark fingertips :)
DeleteLOVE that gold one! And so affordable! I hope we get this here soon! Great pics Vita!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the collection in Canada because it's simply so much fun - although that's what I love about Essence products generally! They appeal to my inner little girl :)
DeleteLove the black & gold but the red combo is nice, too! I don't think the Circus collection came here -- or maybe I just missed it. Doh.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it hasn't arrived yet???
DeleteI hope you get it - it's such a cute collection and it caught my eye for sure!
I bought all 3 of these as well, and like you was really underwhelmed with the glitter of the red! Pink is beautiful though, such a nice base shade!
ReplyDeleteOooh - I love the pink too! I had such high hopes for the red but, oh well. It's pretty nonetheless. I knew I wasn't going to miss out on this collection :)
DeleteYou and glitter!! I saw this range...but I think I've got enough nail polish to last me...oh...a long time? Love the idea of having the double sided nail polish. That way you can choose to either wear it with the glitter or skip it altogether.
ReplyDeleteI think I have enough polish to last 2 lifetimes - but that never seems to stop me wanting more :p
DeleteThese were just too cute for me to pass up!
My Sparkling Acrobat is definitely my favourite! It's really the only thing from the circus collection I had to get. Beautiful swatches btw
ReplyDeleteThank you! xo
